Abstract

Chromosomal RNA with an 11% dihydropyrimidine content was extracted from human placental chromatin. Under appropriate conditions, this RNA showed wide-spread in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. This included preferential hybridization to the telomeric regions and heterochromatic short arms of acrocentric chromosomes as well as significant hybridization to Q- and G-positive bands.
